THIS is the shocking moment a furious cyclist confronts a DPD driver for parking on the pavement – before falling victim to “karma” just moments later.
Resident Heidi Cooper witnessed how the two men clashed in a screaming row outside her home in Bradford, Yorkshire.

The 29-year-old woman was picking up her parcel when the brawl sparked at her doorstep.
Ms Cooper’s CCTV showed how an angry cyclist wearing an Aldi vest asked a DPD courier to move his car off the pavement so he can ride his bike.
But the confrontation escalated when the cyclist told the driver he shouldn’t park on the yellow lines.
The video showed how the angry DPD worker then replied: “You shouldn’t be riding on the footpath either n*bhead.”
Things got even more heated when the driver insulted the cyclist and fumed: “It’s illegal, you d**k.”
In response, the Aldi worker can be seen cycling the bike back and riding towards the courier at full speed to intimidate him.
However, the cyclist got instant “karma” when he slammed on the brakes just a few feet from the woman and flied over the handlebars.
The man crashed his shoulder into the Heidi’s boundary wall and fell at the pair’s feet.
The furious Aldi worker then faced his rival and shouted: “I’ve got more f***ing rights than you have.”
Heidi, who stood in front of the men the whole time, explained: “I was just there thinking ‘I don’t want to get involved in this’.
“It’s a main road and there wasn’t anywhere he could really park on he stopped on the road to try and be quick.
“When the cyclist muttered something about not parking on the pavement it just all escalated from there.
“I thought the mas was going to ride off but when he turned around I was worried there was going to be a fight.”
Heidi said she was too shocked to laugh and tried to put her gate between her and “the crazy man” as a barrier.
She said: “I didn’t even laugh at the time. I was in absolute shock because I didn’t expect him to go over the handlebars and straight into the wall.”
The mum-of-two claimed she doesn’t blame the DPD driver for the incident – despite him being parked on the double-yellow lines.
Instead, she thinks the cyclist’s fall “serves him right” for trying to intimidate the courier.
The homeowner, who lives in a 30mph-limit road, explained the area is normally busy and delivery drivers regularly stop there despite the signs.
“I blame the cyclist and don’t think the driver did anything wrong but I can understand why people would think he shouldn’t have stopped there.
“I was just in complete shock. It’s definitely the most dramatic delivery I’ve ever had,” she said.
Aldi and DPD have been contacted for comment.
It comes as footage posted on TikTok initially showed two men arguing over where a man has parked but it quickly descends into an expletive-laden rant as the situation sours.
